Michael Bisio invariably astounds his audience with the beauty of his tone as well as the intensity of his very personal musical language. Bisio is one of the few musicians that has managed to meld the high-concept sense of physicality with the soulful charge of jazz. “His fiddle-high, scraped overtones create a tangled choir that is impossible to resist; his expressiveness with the bow is unmatched. Having whirled the listener into a transportive state, he gently shows the way out…”

Tomas Ulrich fulfills the roles of bassist, guitarist, and additional horn player and is endlessly talented and creative. Tomas has written music for theater, film, and instrumental performance and has concertized in Europe, Japan, South America, Canada, and throughout the United States. Mr. Ulrich can be heard on over 60 CDs in a wide variety of musical styles and settings.

DDT is made up of three of three of the most versatile and exciting string payers in New York City. Dom Minasi (guitar), Tomas Ulrich (cello), and Ken Filiano (bass) explore a wide range of musical vistas in their compositions and improvisations. Their 2003 CD “Time Will Tell,” where the trio is joined by John Bollinger (drums) and Carol Mennie (voice) was released to great critical acclaim.
